Corn Crib
The sides of the corn crib were covered in slats to allow ventilation for the corn to dry. The slanted sides allowed the water to fall from the roof and not bounce up on the sides of the building. If the corn became wet, rot could set in. The corn crib would have originally been placed on stilts, covered in tin or tin plate and attached at the top, preventing mice from entering and feasting on the corn. This building came from north of Moulinette, and was donated to the Historical Society in 1997 by Al and MaryAnn Nessith.
Les côtés du crib à maïs étaient recouverts de lattes pour permettre une ventilation permettant au maïs de sécher. Les côtés inclinés permettaient à l'eau de tomber du toit et de ne pas rebondir sur les côtés du bâtiment. Si le maïs devenait humide, la pourriture pourrait s'installer. Le berceau de maïs aurait été à l'origine placé sur des pilotis, recouvert d'étain ou de tôle et fixé au sommet, empêchant les souris d'entrer et de se régaler du maïs. Ce bâtiment est venu du nord de Moulinette et a été donné à la Société
